Tried HiyaHiyas and Addi Turbos. The HiyaHiya are great, the needles are sharp, the brushed metal is smooth but not too smooth, but the case and curved cables made me love them less. I like the sleekness of Addi Turbos, but sometimes they're too smooth (when I lace them up) and their cables get twisted. I love him. The cables don't kink, the needles are sharp, and the body is the best kit I've seen. All the needles stay in place and the accessories are great. I bought this 4 inch set in addition to the 5 inch set and am very happy with both sets. If you really never just make hats, this is probably best as an addition to the 5 inch set. Or you can buy longer cords and this set makes a great primary set if you like shorter needles. *Note: If the cables are sticky, you just need to wipe them with alcohol and they're perfect. This 4" kit came with cleaned cables in the US" so I didn't have to clean any cables like the 5" kit.
